Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

NetherlandsNote that the room doesn't contain any furniture apart from the bed and some railings to hang clothes on. If you're planning on staying for a long time this might be good to know. Because we stayed for 7 weeks, we bought some of our own cheap furniture to make it more comfortable. The kitchen is pretty small, so when everybody wants to cook at the same time, you might have to wait. The same is true for the showers: when the hostel is full, sometimes you have to wait for your turn.
We stayed here for 7 weeks, during which Tom-san and Kimiko-san were friendly and helpful hosts. The room is small but clean. The common room is a very nice place to relax. The bathrooms were clean. For the price, it's a great place for staying in Tokyo for a few weeks. If you're planning on spending a lot of time in Shibuya and Shinjuku, this place might be a bit far off. But Higashi-Ogu is a very nice and cozy neighborhood and we loved spending time in Arakawa district. In any case there is a subway stop a few minutes from the guesthouse, as well as several supermarkets and shops within walking distance.

PhilippinesWe are group of 3 persons occupied in the room located in 3rd floor. Upon seeing the room we are shock because its too small that we couldn't move from side to side. No chair to sit and side table that we could place our belongings. I can imagine like a 4 corner box. The room is not recommended for older persons with mobility problems.
Room is clean, toilet located outside the room but its okey. There is a separate hot and cold shower and good thing it has a strong water pressure. Location is near the subway station but too far from Tokyo. Owner are helpful and very nice persons that you can chat.

LuxembourgIt seemed that the hosts were money hungry. When you arrive there are additional charges that they don't tell you about upfront. For example, whether you use the kitchen and shower daily or not, you have to pay a charge. This price was also increased partway through my stay. There are also charges if you receive anything at the address and other such petty things. The people sleeping on couches in the living areas is unacceptable - this is due to the place being overbooked and happens regularly. The hosts also need to control their drunk guests noise levels as it really gets out of control and people will party in the rooms throughout the night disturbing those around them.
Tom and Kimiko are really great hosts. They are really kind and friendly and fun. The place is also well located, near a number of stations and close to shops.

TurkeyI can say it was the worst place I ever stayed. Everything in the hotel was very old and very bad. It was like we were using old, discarded things. The bed we slept in was wooden and very old. Every time we turned around it was making noise and we woke up. The only thing in the room was the bed and we had no other space. The hotel owner asked us to keep our luggage outside the room, but of course we didn't want to leave them outside. Since there was no place in the rooms, people left their suitcases in the corridors and the place looked quite crowded. It was not a hygienic and comfortable area at all. Also, the place is not close to the center of Tokyo. However, the neighborhood it was located in was a quiet and beautiful place and that was the only good thing I could say about this place.
Nothing!
